Introduction:
Atelier-Galeria is a unique two-week program for national and international artists, curators, critics, and other cultural agent, conducted in English in Lisbon, which aims to widen the knowledge of visual arts in both theoretical and practical aspects, nourishing experimentation and the originality of young artists coming from all over the world.
Zaratan- Arte Contemporânea mainly comes from the tradition of artist-run spaces. Historically, artists have been especially good at identifying cultural needs and in making them available through the creation of structures. Detached from the traditional teaching methods, Atelier-Galeria offers a unique experience that privileges improvisation, debate and growth. The course Atelier-Galeria aims to research new forms to fulfill the physical space with transversal, collective and efemeral thinking and producing.
This experience includes conferences and meetings with artists, critics and specialists of diverse disciplines, theoretical debates with the curators of the workshop, and a dense program of live events
Program:
In a world that seems to have an increasingly difficult time embracing difference, Atelier-Galeria aims to blur the distance – that is physical and mental – between the artworks and contemporary society, analyzing the incidences from the private to the public and from the public to the private.
Practically, the gallery space of Zaratan – Arte Contemporâne will transform itself into the studio of the participants, open to the public everyday during the gallery opening hours.
